K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, 58, Belinskogo str., Yakutsk, 677007, Russia 2Institute of Humanities and Problems of the Peoples of the North SB RAS, 1, Petrovskogo str., Yakutsk, 677027, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to the identification of symbolic markers and perception of the cognitive model of the space of the northern cities of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The definition of "northern cities" is constructed based on the results of a study to identify various aspects of identity (national, territorial, ethnocultural) and is used by the authors when defining all cities of Yakutia. The main tools for constructing and regulating the cognitive map of a city are city monuments associated with historical memory and acting as components of state policy and a nation-building tool. The main research methods were historical and cognitive analysis and the method of questionnaire survey. The novelty of the article is a cross-cultural study of the perception of urban monuments as symbolic markers of urban space. The authors observe a difference in the perception of the symbolism of urban space between generational groups. It is concluded that each city, depending on its geographical and economic location, local characteristics, and national identity, has its own specific set of symbolic markers in the cognitive map of the city. The findings will contribute to the systematic study of the value attitudes of residents of modern Russian cities. Multilevel models of symbolic images associated with both national and territorial identities are being built. the process of modeling symbolic urban space, urban identity and territory [4, 5, 6]. To develop the concept of 1 Introduction this article, theoretical articles by D.N. and N.Yu. The city in its potential provides a dynamic course of Zamyatin and I.I. Mitin allows a methodological basis economic, political, socio-cultural, communication, built for the presentation of the city as a text and the city microevolutionary and other processes, acting as a as a symbolic space [7]. matrix for the life arrangement and life support of According to Yu.M. Lotman, the city is a complex citizens. Various socio-economic, political, and cultural semiotic mechanism, which is a "cauldron" of texts and factors influence the formation of the city's image. An codes, diverse and heterogeneous, belonging to different important factor can be considered the potential languages and levels [2]. V.N. Toporov includes in the contained in the cultural and symbolic sphere of urban concept "city text" all the information that streets, space, which is demonstrated through various “city squares, gardens, monuments, buildings, townspeople, texts”. According to D.N. Zamyatin and others, any city etc., openly or implicitly give us and “can be understood offers, as a rule, a multitude of symbolic images of as a heterogeneous text to which a certain meaning is different genesis, content, and structure, formed both by attributed and on the basis of which the system of signs social and professional groups, and by individuals in the realized in the text can be reconstructed” [3]. process of their purposeful activity [1]. These images The city becomes a "place of memory", a focus of can be presented as iconic symbolic markers of urban significant events, a repository and reproduction of space. historical memory. Historical memory is supported primarily by the cultural heritage embodied in material objects that become “places of memory”. "Place of 2 Materials and methods memory" embodies the unity of the spiritual and the material, which, over time, was preserved and passed The theoretical and methodological basis was the work from generation to generation through a remembering of famous Russian scientists representing the Moscow- culture, becomes a symbolic element of the cultural and Tartus semiotic school [2, 3], and the concepts of historical heritage [8]. Thus, the memory of the city is modern cross-cultural research were used. In particular, considered as a mechanism for preserving, broadcasting the concept of historical memory (place of memory) by and reproducing the past socio-cultural experience of Pierre Nora, conceptual provisions aimed at studying the urban life for the construction of being in the present [9]. socio-cultural life of the city and involving citizens in M.

The paper analyzes the condition of electrical grids in the west of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia); data sampled for the last 10 years. It demonstrates the geographic location of grids, which defines the scale of the study. Technical indicators are presented for 10 years; they reflect an increase in the fixed assets. The paper derives mathematical models of the wear of transmission equipment used in the western grids. It proves that the condition of equipment will deteriorate further unless its maintenance is properly funded. The paper analyzes the prospects of electrical grids in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). It presents a program for local energy optimization. The costs associated with five alternative development scenarios are calculated and presented in a tabular format. 1 Introduction 30% of the total heat in the Republic.

EDMONd 1Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA 2Laboratory of Erosion and Fluvial Processes, Department of Geography, Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia (Received June 11, 1997; accepted in revised form February 12, 1998) ABSTRACT—The response of continental weathering rates to changing climate and atmospheric PCO2 is of considerable importance both to the interpretation of the geological sedimentary record and to predictions of the effects of future anthropogenic influences. While comprehensive work on the controlling mechanisms of contemporary chemical and mechanical weathering has been carried out in the tropics and, to a lesser extent, in the strongly perturbed northern temperate latitudes, very little is known about the peri-glacial environments in the subarctic and arctic. Thus, the effects of climate, essentially temperature and runoff, on the rates of atmospheric CO2 consumption by weathering are not well quantified at this climatic extreme. To remedy this lack a comprehensive survey has been carried out of the geochemistry of the large rivers of Eastern Siberia, the Lena, Yana, Indigirka, Kolyma, Anadyr, and numerous lesser streams which drain a pristine, high-latitude region that has not experienced the pervasive effects of glaciation and subsequent anthropogenic impacts common to western Eurasia and North America.

In particular, changes to local and global climate parameters influence vector and water-borne diseases like malaria, dengue fever, and tick-borne encephalitis. The Republic of Sakha in northern Russia is no exception. Long-term trends of increasing annual temperatures and thawing permafrost have corresponded with the northward range expansion of tick-species in the Republic. Indigenous communities living in these remote areas may be severely affected by human and livestock diseases introduced by disease vectors like ticks. To better understand the risk of vector-borne diseases in Sakha, we aimed to describe the Citation: Vladimirov, L.N.; increase and spatial spread of tick-bite cases in the Republic.

  • Chapter 7. Cities of the Russian North in the Context of Climate Change
    ? chapter seven Cities of the Russian North in the Context of Climate Change Oleg Anisimov and Vasily Kokorev Introduction In addressing Arctic urban sustainability, one has to deal with the com- plex interplay of multiple factors, such as governance and economic development, demography and migration, environmental changes and land use, changes in the ecosystems and their services, and climate change.1 While climate change can be seen as a factor that exacerbates existing vulnerabilities to other stressors, changes in temperatures, precipitation, snow accumulation, river and lake ice, and hydrological conditions also have direct implications for Northern cities. Climate change leads to a reduction in the demand for heating energy, on one hand, and heightens concerns about the fate of the infrastruc- ture built upon thawing permafrost, on the other. Changes in snowfall are particularly important and have direct implications for the urban economy, because, together with heating costs, expenses for snow removal from streets, airport runways, roofs, and ventilation spaces underneath buildings standing on pile foundations built upon perma- frost constitute the bulk of a city’s maintenance budget during the long cold period of the year. Many cities are located in river valleys and are prone to fl oods that lead to enormous economic losses, inju- ries, and in some cases human deaths. The severity of the northern climate has a direct impact on the regional migration of labor. Climate could thus potentially be viewed as an inexhaustible public resource that creates opportunities for sustainable urban development (Simp- 142 | Oleg Anisimov and Vasily Kokorev son 2009). Long-term trends show that climate as a resource is, in fact, becoming more readily available in the Russian North, notwith- standing the general perception that globally climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the twenty-fi rst century.
